claims for breach of contract, breach of warranty, guarantee or condition, stric
t liability, negligence, or other tort to the extent permitted by applicable law

repair, replacement or a refund for the software does not fully compensate you f
or any losses; or
Microsoft knew or should have known about the possibility of the damages.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequent
ial damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. They al
so may not apply to you because your country may not allow the exclusion or limi
